Young and Duke in the LRV |
"The astronauts used the lunar
rover to great effect, traveling nearly 17 miles across the rugged plateau
near the crater Descartes." "Their three excursions lasted for 20 hours
14 minutes and yielded an impressive 213 lb of rock and soil samples."
- "Heroes in Space" , Peter Bond |

"The suspension system on the Rover is absolutely remarkable. We never had
the feeling of spinning out or anything, but sometimes we went in some deep
holes and sometimes the vehicle bounced up in the air and came down on a
rock...[but] it didn't seem to affect the performance of the machine."
- John Young, at post-flight press conference, 5-3-72 |
